Abstract
A system having a data retriever and a database manager is provided. The data retriever retrieves router configurations from data stores for routers. The database manager parses the router configurations to determine port data for each port on each router, and integrates the port data with customer data to create an integrated database. The database manager also determines a customer link diversity based on the integrated database and displays the customer link diversity. The database manager can recommend reassignment of a customer link when the customer link diversity is less than a corresponding target customer link diversity. The database manager can also determine the customer link diversity when adding a card and determine the customer link diversity when adding a customer link.
